I like pastries and cookies, but it can be hard to enjoy them fully without worrying about the amount of carbs or sugar. I got this recipe from So Nourished (www.sonourished.com). It uses almond flour and monk fruit sugar instead of all-purpose flour and regular sugar - so no need to worry about carbs or sugar! The cookies are tasty and light. Try this recipe for a tasty treat that is both guilt- and worry-free!
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cup almond flour
5 tablespoons monk fruit sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the almond flour, monk fruit sugar, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Beat in the butter and almond extract until it forms a crumbled mixture.
Gather the mixture into a ball by hand then wrap in plastic and chill for 15 minutes.
Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls.
Place the cookie balls on the baking sheet and flatten slightly with a fork.
Bake for 8 to 11 minutes until the tops just start to brown, then cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
